Fm. Bhatti, Estimates of resistive and conductive exponents in two and three dimensions using extended perimeter method, J PHYS JPN, 69(10), 2000, pp. 3223-3227
We use the 'Extended Perimeter Method', to calculate the low density series
in powers of p (where p is the probability) for the resistive and conducti
ve susceptibilities. In the case of directed problem, the numerical analysi
s of the series based on the Pade' approximants techniques give the estimat
es of the critical exponents gamma (C) = 0.87 +/- 0.03 in two dimensions an
d gamma (C) = 0.48 +/- 0.02 in three dimensions for the first time. For und
irected problem, we obtain only the series for resistive and conductive sus
ceptibilities in three dimensions. On the basis of our analysis using non-d
efective approximants we estimate gamma (R) = 2.83 +/- 0.25, and gamma (C)
= 0.63 +/- 0.07. We also remove the discrepancy in the 8th term of the seri
es for chi (C)(p) obtained hy Fisch and Harris in 1978. We conclude that th
e 8th term is wrong due to a single error in the formula which was used in
all dimensions.
